A majority of the reported sounds have taken place between the hours of 2 a.m. and 4:30 a.m.
"It's like an explosion and of course, you know, it actually shakes your house," said Janice Crompton of Haycock Township.
Local police municipalities have been receiving reports of the sounds since early April, with the most recent one happening shortly after 4 a.m. Tuesday, according to Springfield Township police.
"I thought maybe somebody was making a tunnel, or space junk fell out of the sky," said Susan Crompton.
"It's a rumble. It actually, like, rumbles the ground like an earthquake would happen but with a loud like boom," she added.
There has been no shortage of theories, but there are still no answers as to why so many residents have been jolted by the mysterious and near-deafening boom sounds, which CBS Philly says have been reported in Pennsylvania's Upper Bucks and Lehigh counties.

Trump derangement syndrome.
It really makes you wonder what’s going on.
Paging Art Bell...
I can hear booms in the evening here too, supposedly the cadets and their artillery training at West Point about 20 miles north of me.
Exactly. Who else could it be?
Up there yea,we used to shoot some stuff down the road.Could see it for a long time.
It is the ghost of John Lee Hooker.
On a mission from God.

So-called ‘sprint’ testing of the Delta blimp.
1850 short story by James Fenimore Cooper talked about this.
The Lake Gun
by
James Fenimore Cooper
“The “Lake Gun” is a mystery. It is a sound resembling the explosion of a heavy piece of artillery, that can be accounted for by none of the known laws of nature. The report is deep, hollow, distant, and imposing. The lake seems to be speaking to the surrounding hills, which send back the echoes of its voice in accurate reply. No satisfactory theory has ever been broached to explain these noises. Conjectures have been hazarded about chasms, and the escape of compressed air by the sudden admission of water; but all this is talking at random, and has probably no foundation in truth. The most that can be said is, that such sounds are heard, though at long intervals, and that no one as yet has succeeded in ascertaining their cause.”

I assume these booms in Philly are more ground-based and localized.
The one and only.

Some on the thread thought it was a “hail cannon” or a “geese suppression cannon”.
The Feds have all these triangulation assets, and it’d take just one single evening to get within a mile of the ‘booms’. My guess is that someone is running a ‘wildcat’ mining operation, without any approval process.
